Arr, a lass from Mississippi be makin' waves on the interwebs! After 30 long years, she be givin' her old sea dog o' a father a fine Dan Marino treasure, a tradin' card she claimed t' have seen him let go o' in tough times. Yo-ho-ho, the power o' nostalgia be mighty indeed!
If there had been a Daughter of the Year award, this Mississippi woman likely would have won it for the Christmas present she gave her father this year. Lindsey Moore fulfilled a promise she made to herself years ago as a child. At the age of seven, she remembered her father selling his Dan Marino football card for some extra cash. She vowed to buy the card back, and over 30 years later, she did just that. In a TikTok video, Moore's mother reads the card aloud as her father gets emotional. Moore wrote, "Money was tight, so you were selling your most prized possession - at least what I viewed it as...I felt your sacrifice and it taught me that I would do whatever necessary to ensure my future family never needed for anything." Moore expressed gratitude and said, "I will never be able to fully repay that debt. Seven-year-old me would be so elated to see that I finally fulfilled that promise I made to myself. Thank you for everything." As Moore's mother read the card, her father took off his glasses and was getting emotional. He opened the gift, and sure enough, the 1984 Topps Marino card was in the envelope. It was graded 5 by PSA. He wiped away tears and embraced his daughter.
